Look around you and take a reality check, people are murdered, rob, assaulted, home broken into, rape, and you say "before" well my friend this is the "NOW" read the papers. I say again the good citizens of the Rocky Mount "MUST" look out for their family in themselves. These so-called devilish gangsters should understand what they dish out they can receive it themselves. It you ever find the utopia where there is no crime and victims please let the good people Rocky Mount know. "Wake up Sleepyhead" you live in Lala land.
